Crema's Take

Burning River Coffee is a refreshingly unconventional spot in Lakewood that pairs serious espresso craftsmanship with a laid-back vibe—their creative signature drinks like the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte and Nutella latte are executed with real precision and care. The co-location with a smoke shop might raise eyebrows, but regulars appreciate how the comfortable seating and patient, knowledgeable staff create a genuinely chill atmosphere that's perfect for lingering or stopping by before a show. This is the kind of place where the baristas actually explain their shot process and nail flavor-forward specialty drinks that taste like what they promise to be.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot.

A perfect coffee stop! All of our drinks were excellent. I was impressed that my Nutella latte actually tasted like Nutella. The service was also excellent. They were both patient and efficient. Just an FYI they are within a vape shop - the coffee counter is in the back.
